About This Quote

"If you want to make a million you don't have to understand money, what you have to understand is people's fears about money." I often hear people say that the only way to become rich is if you "understand money." I guess what they mean is that if you want to make a million dollars, then it's important that you know how to invest. If you really understand money, then you can do anything with it. You can buy anything or anyone, including yourself. But, by using this quote as your guide, you will realize that this is not true at all. If you want to make a million dollars, then it's important for you to understand the fear of making a million dollars.
